Can culture exist without language?No, not in any meaningful, rich, or transmissible form.Language is the primary medium through which culture is created, stored, shared, and inherited across generations. Without language, complex beliefs, values, myths, social norms, rituals, humor, poetry, and historical memory cannot be fully formed or passed on.Non-verbal elements (art, music, dance, food, gestures, tools, architecture) do carry cultural information, but they almost always rely on language for explanation, naming, interpretation, and deeper transmission. Purely non-linguistic culture would be extremely thin and limited — more like animal behavior patterns than human culture.In short: culture without language is possible in a very primitive sense, but it would be unrecognizably shallow compared to human civilization.Related websites: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity
